but it is much more plausible. i think mo pete in his prime was all around better than richard jefferson. jefferson's 3pt numbers in his first five years in the league are HORRENDOUS. jefferson had the luxury of playing with guys like Jkidd and Kmart. mo pete had who? aside from VC, who happened to be injured most of the time, no one else made his game easier for him.

maybe rj wasnt a good comparison but mo pete to me was very average all around. he could play d and hit 3's... which is good but i def hope we get more from ross in terms of consistency on offense

pretty good defender in his prime. i gotta give him that.

ross already looks good on the defensive end and will only improve and i think your right when you say he has more athletisicm then mo pete. plus he has range as well. i dunno they could end up being very similar players but i hope not..

Do people even remember how good prime Mo Pete was? He was putting up 17/5/2 on good percentages. Thats pretty darn good when you factor in his above average perimeter D.

his best season was 2005-06

16.8 ppg 2.3 apg 4.6 rpg 3pt%39.5 fg% 43.6

inflated stats on a really really baaddddd team with the only really good player being bosh in his 3rd season

also mike james was on that team and also had inlfated stats that season. if you like i can name the rest of the roster but that team was horrendous.

again mo pete was average at best. his peremiter D was good no doubt but he was a role player on a team that wasnt very deep at all. he had the potential to be much better then he turned out to be imo.

wow did any one know mo pete was on the okc thunder in 2010-11 ??

i admit we are setting the bar kinda low when we are talking about a player who retired by the time he was 33.

but hey it's the 8th overall pick so he could be great, or he could be out of the league in 4 years. so hoping for Morris Peterson with greater athleticsm is a nice conservative expectation. he can feel free to exceed it

but hopefully we can use his expiring, if not at least we unloaded Novak's deal...

“We’re never going to be a high-assist team”, Casey said Thursday morning during an appearance on on SN590 The Fan’s Starting Lineup, “The way DeMar plays, he gets his points off the dribble and in one-on-one situations, and it takes away from that high-assist number. But we have to get the ball moving— and knock down shots once it is.”

its crazy to think that BC was getting crushed by the fans when he drafted ross... turns out he DEFINITELY is the most athletic player in this draft and down the road this may be one of BCs best picks.

The fast track progression of Ross will probably give BC that extension, lol.

i really wouldnt mind. the only problem i've had with BC has been his euro fixation over the years, which is becoming moot now that the team is playing so damn well without the 'key guy'. i have prayed for him to trade jose, but he's playing out of his mind. but his selections in the mid-lottery position have ALWAYS turned out to be fantastic. demar turning a corner, ed davis becoming that solid piece up front, and ross' athleticism alone is a salivating prospect to have on a young squad. dont forget drafting val.
